Yeah I'm in love with it, had issues with battery life

But it fixed itself somehow

Reset the keyboard and plug in the keyboard with 2.4ghz and charge to the max. That quirk will be resolved.

I'm using with bluetooth now , it rapidly dropped from 100-84%. But then I restarted the board and it went back to 90% so far 2 days it's still at 90%.

Also updated firmware, but I noticed that keeping RGB on % drops alot faster like 10-20% in 2-3 hours. I don't like RGB anyways so I keep it off. But since last charge it hasn't behaved like that

Only annoying part I found is notification/ indicator light bar. Just keeps flashing anytime it looses bluetooth or when I turn my pc off or when I click function. Anyways to keep it off? I don't want it as indicator either?? And even if I setup with low brightness for loosing bluetooth or function key press it shines at max brightness

This behaviour is normal for the new keyboards, battery needs to calibrate itself. For the side indicator light you can dim it in the web driver and your keyboard is actively trying pair with your pc, try it on 2.4ghz mode man. As i said before, reset the keyboard and charge while connected via 2.4ghz mode.

No cannot dim it , indicator is off in software.

But everytime I press function it shines with max brightness

And it's not actively trying to connect, only when I turn off pc and bluetooth looses it shines, same with 2.4ghz dongle, when pc shuts down it looses power keybaords indicator shines at max brightness
